Yikes ... I might hold my own in an NFL discussion ... but talking ice hockey would very quickly display my ignorance.
The only ones who care about the Sabres are Sabres fans. It would bore most everyone to tears.
Brief history, Buffalo post-humously *won* the Stanley Cup a few years ago after a multi-period overtime (the sun was coming up). The Stars were declared the winner on a questionable goal because everyone wanted to go home (basically) and later the decision was reversed. So it’s down in the books that Buffalo won, technically.
Last year most of their best players got injured JUST before the playoffs themselves, and so lost them.
There have been other close calls, too, but my son isn’t home yet so I’m lacking in details.
